Here's-- this is a poem about a friend of mine who is
a legendary cowboy and a legendary cutting horse man
in Texas.
His name is Buster Welch.
And Bill would know Bud Robbins.
Most of these stories about Buster Welch
were told to me by Bud Robbins, which is really a--
I mean, a compliment if people are telling stories about you,
like how to live.
And Buster was a brilliant man.
Besides having won more cutting horse
contests than anybody else in the country.
So this is a piece about Buster.
Hey, Buster Welch, says one of the young cowboys
who is learning to ride a cutting horse.
Why do we have to get up in the morning at 4 o'clock?
We never start work till 6:00.
Says Buster Welch, that's when I do
my best thinking, between 4:00 and 6:00 in the morning.
Well, says the young cowboy, why do we have to get up with you?
Says Buster, I'm trying to teach you how to think.
